11 years I’m Melanie Thomas, a wedding photographer based in the South of Germany, where I live with my husband, our two sons, and our Boston Terrier girl. Wedding Photography has been part of my life since 2014, when I started capturing weddings alongside my husband Shayne. Over time, Shayne found his passion in videography, expanding our creative brand and allowing us to offer couples a complete visual storytelling experience. Since 2024, I’ve been documenting weddings all across Europe together with my wonderful photographer sidekick, Joana. We work both individually and as a team — always with a shared love for authentic, emotional storytelling. I’m 40 years old, and I truly believe that every year of life experience makes me a better photographer. I’m incredibly grateful to be pursuing my dream job — and I can’t wait to keep telling beautiful love stories for many years to come.

von Herzen DANKE für eure wundervolle fotografische Begleitung! Ihr habt den Vibe unseres Hochzeitswochenendes perfekt eingefangen und wir können gar nicht mehr aufhören durch die Bilder zu scrollen.
Es war so angenehm mit euch zusammenzuarbeiten und bereits beim Standesamt hast du uns, Melli, komplett mit deiner Professionalität überzeugt. Ihr wart nicht einfach nur Dienstleister, sondern habt euch total organisch ins Geschehen integriert und das sieht man den Bildern auch an.
Immer wenn wir die Bilder ansehen, fühlen wir uns wirklich in der Zeit zurückversetzt, genau so hatten wir es uns erhofft.
Die Highlight Galerie war schon sehr vielversprechend und mit dem Gesamtergebnis habt ihr nochmal eins drauf gesetzt - einfach wunderschön, stilvoll, elegant und super authentisch. Wir sind so dankbar, dass wir euch gefunden haben und sind einfach nur happy mit dem Ergebnis!!!
we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You were simply amazing – from the first Zoom call to the first live hug and the farewell at the party. You made us feel incredibly comfortable at all times, were so warm and yet absolutely professional! Your experience is evident – and so is the fact that you are a perfectly coordinated team.
During our weekend in Tuscany, you managed to capture every emotion, every laugh, and every little gesture without us even noticing. The result is photos and videos that are so genuine, vibrant, and full of love – we can't get enough of them. I, in particular, felt completely at ease every moment and never felt like I had to strike a pose or change my emotions to look good in your photos.
It was so pleasant and easy working with you both – almost as if you were just good friends who happened to take amazing photos on the side.
Thank you for your fantastic work, your eye for detail, and your lovely nature. We are so happy that you and Joana were our photographers – we couldn't have imagined it being any better!
To set the stage, my husband and I originally envisioned a lively wedding surrounded by friends, but after his father’s passing just months before our anticipated date, everything changed. A grand celebration no longer felt right. Instead, we chose an intimate family wedding in a place we knew our parents would never have visited on their own—the French Riviera.
We had no idea how the day would unfold, but somehow, everything fell into place as if it were always meant to be. Melli was an integral part of that magic. She didn’t just document our wedding; she became part of our family. She was an artist, a friend, and a steady presence we could lean on throughout the day.
One year later, on our first wedding anniversary, we look through our wedding photos while listening to our song, instantly transported back to that beautiful day. I can still feel the brisk morning air, the plush carpet under my feet, the conflicted emotions on my husband’s face - grief for his father intertwined with the anticipation of the most important day of his life. I see the grandeur of the marble halls, my father’s trembling hand, and the glisten in his eyes as we waited to walk down the aisle. I remember our mothers, radiant in their traditional hanbok dresses as they beamed with pride. And I will never forget how we ended the night - just the two of us, walking hand in hand, letting out a breath we didn’t realize we had been holding, finally taking in the joy and relief of the day. Melli captured it all with perfection; the fleeting moments, the raw emotions, the love that filled every corner of that day.
For that, we will be forever grateful.
Thank you again so much for the wonderful support during our wedding weekend in beautiful Puglia and for the fantastic collaboration!
We felt so comfortable with you throughout the entire weekend. Your calm, professional, and warm manner helped us feel at ease and confident in front of the camera. Your guidance and talent contributed to the fact that the final videos and photos turned out absolutely stunning.
We are beyond happy with the photos and videos – simply breathtaking! Now we are even more excited to see the photos compiled into a beautiful coffee table book with your help.
We can wholeheartedly recommend you and your work! You are two wonderful people who are a joy to work with. And that, combined with your talent for capturing the important and emotional moments, is a real jackpot!
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the incredibly wonderful collaboration! Even before our wedding, we felt completely at ease with you, and your professionalism and loving approach truly impressed us. Your work utterly enchanted us – the photos and videos far exceeded our expectations! Every detail, every moment was captured so beautifully, allowing us to relive those special moments again and again.
Not only is your work outstanding, but you two are simply wonderful people! Your warm and friendly nature immediately made us feel we could trust you completely. It was a joy to work with you.
Furthermore, you were always incredibly quick and reliable, and you took excellent care of us in every respect. It was a true pleasure to have you by our side!
We wholeheartedly recommend you and are incredibly grateful for everything you did for us. You are truly the best!
